Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act

I missed this last week — and one can argue about how significant this stream of never-to-be-brought-to-the-floor bills really is anyway — but nonetheless, check out Sen. Jeffords’ Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act. Here are the highlights:

· Requires that the U.S. reduce its emissions between 2010 and 2020 to 1990 levels. By 2030, the U.S. must reduce its emissions by 1/3 of 80% percent below 1990 levels, by 2040 by 2/3 of 80% percent below 1990 levels and by 2050, to a level that is 80 percent below 1990 levels.
